title: [Blind-ending branch of bifid ureter: apropos of a case].
abstract: The Authors report on a case of blind-ending ureter. A young woman (29 years old) underwent surgery because of recurrent urinary tract infections and left loin pain. The operation consisted in a radical resection of the blind branch together with Coen's operation for the coexistence of vesicoureteral reflux. Authors' goal was to review the international Literature on this rare pathology pointing out their opinion on the existing terminology which is still far from being clear and definite.
